Welp. So much for inflation going down in Starkville.

as demonstrated in Ukr, drones are where the $ are going now. kid with a Camera headset, game controller and a backpack full of $1500 small drones w/charges can take out troops/tanks/helo’s/artillery/enemy drones. Like a sniper but from 10-50 (or more) miles away. Anything unmanned or that goes on unmanned will get $ as we readjust strategy/tactics and weapons. Attack helicopters on the way out…….sux.

The dumbing down of America continues. Soon, nobody will be thinking for themselves and will depend only on some machine to make their decisions

Anybody remember the movie Toys?
"A hi-tech toy factory falls into the hands of an army general who turns the models into killing machines. The deceased owner's children know what's afoot and, although apparently powerless, have to find a way of bringing down the nightmarish empire that is being constructed under their noses."

It is cheaper for the army just to teach their guys to shoot at the guy who is shooting at them. Concept is pretty damn simple.

How do nice things like this happen in MS when erybody knows MS doesn't have enough educated workers to fill all those positions? Has the DOD decision maker read The Pack?

I just looked up this company, which is great to have in MS. I can’t help but wonder, if they keep growing, will they head to Huntsville, Nashville or Atlanta.

Happens all the damn time with these companies built in Starkville. I read about a tech company a few years ago that hit it big and boom….moved to Birmingham.

Why does this keep happening, is the question.

Russia’s military is all analog.
